Avec Darfour : du sable et des larmes, le cinéaste Paul Freedman, lauréat du Peabody Award, nous plonge dans la réalité de la situation au Darfour. Il s'est joint à un contingent des forces pour la paix de l'Union Africaine au Darfour, où l'une des pages les plus tragiques et perturbantes de l'histoire de l'humanité est en train de s'écrire. Alors que les hommes et les femmes de cette mission affrontent des conditions très dures et une violence sans limites, deux millions et demi de personnes déplacées n'ont pas d'autre choix que de trouver refuge dans des camps sordides. A ce jour, on estime que 400 000 civils ont perdu la vie.

Taking the expedition of a group of Frenchmen following in the tracks of their fellow countrymen as a starting point, Bougafer 33 is a journey through time and space that tells of the battle that took place in 1933 at the foot of the Bougafer Mountain during the war Morocco fought against the French-Spanish colonial conquest. Eyewitness accounts, stock footage, written tales and songs all contribute to reinstate the history of the last resistants of the Ait Atta. An epic ordeal of fierce and highly organized battles in which women and children took part in the name of freedom.

There are five cameras — each with its own story. When his fourth son, Gibreel, is born in 2005, self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, gets his first camera. At the same time in his village of Bil’in, the Israelis begin bulldozing village olive groves to build a barrier to separate Bil'in from the Jewish Settlement Modi'in Illit. The barrier's route cuts off 60% of Bil'in farmland and the villagers resist this seizure of more of their land by the settlers.

Strawberry Fields points out that strawberries grown in Gaza are the only agricultural product marketed internationally as being of Palestinian origin. One of the major Gaza strawberry farms in located at Beit Lahiya. More than 1,500 tons of strawberries are exported from Gaza to Europe through the Israeli company Agrexco. In order to get overseas, however, the fruits need to pass through the checkpoint that separates Israel and Gaza. The 2005–2006 growing season coincided with the Israel's disengagement from Gaza and the rise of Hamas as the ruling political entity. The armed conflict between Israel and Hamas resulted in the closing of the border checkpoint. The strawberries grown at Beit Lahiya cannot leave Gaza, resulting in significant losses for the farmers and their Agrexco partners. Unable to transport their produce, the farmers have no choice but to dispose of their crop and prepare for the following year’s growing season.

Paths of lives are crossed in one village in the West Bank. Along the broken water pipelines, villagers walk on their courses towards an indefinite future. Israel that controls the water, supplies only a small amount of water, and when the water streams are not certain nothing can evolve. The control over the water pressure not only dominates every aspect of life but also dominates the spirit. Bil-in, without spring water, is one of the first villages of the West Bank where a modern water infrastructure was set up. Many villagers took it as a sign of progress, others as a source of bitterness. The pipe-water was used to influence the people so they would co-operate with Israel’s intelligence. The rip tore down the village. Returning to the ancient technique of collecting rainwater-using pits could be the villagers’ way to express independence but the relations between people will doubtfully be healed.
